Episode 81: 2021 San Diego Bayfair Preview

Welcome to episode eighty of Roostertail Talk.  Shortly after the Columbia Cup I talked with 2 brothers that do a lot of behind the scene work for H1, Jared and Tait Meyer.  These brothers have worked very hard at brining us a bigger and better streaming service for H1.  We ended up talking close to 2 hours, so once again I am splitting the interview up into 3 parts (trilogy!). In part 3 Jared and Tait talk a bit about what goes on in H1 during the offseason as well as the unparallel level of competition that is currently in the sport.  Enjoy!Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=KKp4gjDWeKAYdK0hRQNhCLW_CSrqTKoKMuLy7EvqfnBBw0X5Vb-VPv0d7v1r4fnUeOVZb0&fromUL=true&country.x=US&locale.x=en_US)
